A poem thought through on a Sunday walk home from church ended up being matched to partially unfinished music from Philip P. Bliss. John Sumner had vowed to finish that music and see it paired with lyrics to become a hymn, in tribute to his friend, Mr. Bliss, who'd died in a train accident.
The chorus tells us that with Jesus as our Savior, we're children of the King. Are you a child of the King? I hope so! Join me to learn more about this uplifting hymn.
